Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of pendimethalin wastewater treatment technology, and more particularly to a method for treating pendimethalin wastewater. Background Technology

[0002] Pendimethalin is a selective herbicide widely used in agricultural production, effectively controlling annual grasses and broadleaf weeds. Due to its high herbicidal performance, it is produced and used extensively worldwide. Its production process involves various chemical reactions, such as nitrification, reduction, and condensation, generating significant amounts of wastewater in these stages.

[0003] Dimethoate wastewater typically contains nitric acid and various organic compounds. The nitric acid concentration in the wastewater is usually between 1% and 5%. Direct neutralization with sodium hydroxide will generate explosive sodium nitrate waste salt, requiring third-party treatment, which is costly and dangerous. Furthermore, different production batches or process adjustments may cause variations in nitric acid concentration, types, and contents of organic compounds, increasing the difficulty of treatment. Therefore, we propose a dimethoate wastewater treatment method to address these issues. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a method for treating dimethoate wastewater.

[0005] The method for treating dimethyl pendimethalin wastewater includes the following steps:

[0006] Step 1, pH adjustment and solid-liquid separation: Add ferrous oxide or ferrous hydroxide to the wastewater to adjust the pH to neutral, and obtain the primary filtrate after the first stage of filtration;

[0007] Step 2, Micro-electrolysis reaction treatment: Adjust the pH of the primary filtrate to 2-5 with inorganic acid, add an iron-carbon mixture with a mass ratio of 1:0.5-2 to carry out an oxidation-reduction reaction. The iron-carbon mixture is a mixture of iron powder and carbon powder. When adding the iron-carbon mixture, the mass of iron is 5%-15% of the mass of wastewater. The reaction ends when the bubbles stop. The secondary filtrate is obtained by second-stage filtration.

[0008] Step 3, Multi-stage catalytic oxidation: The secondary filtrate is introduced into 2-5 reactors connected in series. Hydrogen peroxide is added in 1-3 portions at a mass ratio of 15-25:1 (hydrogen peroxide to COD). After the reaction in the last reactor, the filtrate is discharged through a third-stage filtration.

[0009] Preferably, the volatile gases generated in step 1 are dried and then fed into a selective catalytic reduction denitrification system for treatment.

[0010] Preferably, the iron powder has a particle size of 0.1-0.5 mm, and the carbon powder has a particle size of 0.1-1 mm.

[0011] Preferably, the gas generated in step 2 is absorbed by deionized water, then dried, and finally fed into a selective catalytic reduction denitrification system for treatment.

[0012] Preferably, the inorganic acid is a hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid solution with a mass concentration of 10%-30%, and the dosage is dynamically controlled by an online pH monitoring system.

[0013] Preferably, in step 3, hydrogen peroxide is added in a gradient mode, a reaction residence time of 30-60 minutes is set between adjacent reactors, and an ORP online monitoring instrument is set at the outlet of the last reactor to control the reaction endpoint.

[0014] Preferably, in step 3, the amount of hydrogen peroxide added to the first reactor is greater than 50% of the total amount added.

[0015] Preferably, the filtration devices used in the first-stage filtration, second-stage filtration, and third-stage filtration are plate and frame filter presses, and the filter residue from steps 1 and 3 is transported to solid waste treatment equipment for centralized treatment.

[0016] Preferably, the iron-carbon mixture described in step 2 can be recycled for at least 3 batches after being replenished with fresh iron powder, and the iron-carbon mass ratio is maintained at 1:0.5-2 during recycling.

[0017] Preferably, the filter residue in step 2 is dried and crushed, and the iron powder is removed by magnetic force and then weighed. When the mass of carbon powder is less than 30% of the mass of the remaining filter residue, the filter residue is transported to solid waste treatment equipment for processing.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0019] 1. The dimethylpentylamine wastewater treatment method proposed in this invention first adjusts the pH of the wastewater to neutral using ferrous oxide or ferrous hydroxide, which can precipitate some solid waste (calcium, magnesium ions, etc.) and prevent these solid wastes from mixing into the iron-carbon mixture in step 2. When solid wastes are deposited on the surface of carbon powder, it will cause premature deactivation of the carbon powder and affect the number of times the iron-carbon mixture can be recycled. The treatment in step 1 can effectively reduce the amount of solid waste generated. At the same time, during the use of ferrous oxide or ferrous hydroxide, a small amount of nitrate ions can be reduced, and the iron ions generated by adjusting the pH can be easily removed in the subsequent step 2 (without introducing new impurities).

[0020] 2. In the dimethylpentylamine wastewater treatment method proposed in this invention, in step 2, a galvanic cell effect is generated in the solution through an iron-carbon mixture, with iron as the negative electrode and carbon as the positive electrode. This can quickly reduce nitrate ions to nitrogen oxides or ammonia, thus efficiently and rapidly treating nitrate ions. At the same time, ferric ions and ferrous ions can eventually generate corresponding hydroxides and precipitate. In step 2, the pH of the primary filtrate is first adjusted to weakly acidic using an inorganic acid. This can improve the reaction rate in step 2 and remove iron hydroxides adhering to the carbon powder surface when the iron-carbon mixture is recycled, ensuring that the carbon powder can participate in the reaction smoothly.

[0021] 3. The dimethyl pendimethalin wastewater treatment method proposed in this invention uses hydrogen peroxide to perform multi-stage catalytic oxidation of organic matter in the wastewater, which can effectively reduce the COD of the wastewater, while reducing the amount of hydrogen peroxide used and improving the treatment efficiency.

When the mass of the carbon powder is less than 30% of the mass of the remaining filter residue, the filter residue is transported to the solid waste treatment equipment for processing.

[0036] The main reaction principle in step 1 is as follows:

[0037] 3Fe 2+ +NO3 - +4H + =3Fe 3+ +NO↑+2H2O

[0038] The main reaction principle in step 2 is as follows:
